Ad vance reports Indicate that a bird's-eye view of the city either In the morning or afternoon would discover a ball game on every vacant lot, games ranging from the bitter contest between the Little Blugger and the Excelsiors In Hogan's pasture to tha Western league games at the Vinton street park, where Des Moines and Omaha will struggle In a game In the morning and one In the afternoon, probably determining whether Omaha shall remain at the head of the column or step down a notch. Reports" from dealers In fireworks Indi cate thut tli small, boy. haa had a success ful season of saving lit spite of the finan cial stringency. The reports Indicate like wise that tho small boy hns Invested his entire salngs down to the Inst copper and probably pawned his marbles and top and surreptitiously sold some of the family clothing to the ragman In an effort to cele brate the great day in a manner which shall satiety his conscience.

Motorcycle Races. Th Dodge street, course from Fiftieth street west will be the scene of some ex citing motorcycle races In the morning, when the riders of these gasoline machines lll contest for $150 worth of prises. The Dodge street course has been the scene (f many exciting races In the years genu by. when bicycle races were the erase, and of late has been used for automobile rac . The motorcycles will endeavor to beat the time of the larger buzz wagons In whirling over the course. The principal race are ten and twenty miles, which will necessitate the riders finishing at the start, ng point and thua give the spectators ansenililed at the start a chance to see the finish also. The first race will be a ten-mile handl-jthe cupped road race f.r road machines, single cylinder, handlcaiped according to the dls- placerr.tnts cr the engines, multiplied by tho time made by ti e rider, divided by the total weight rr the rider and machine. This seems tn be the most ratixfuctory way of handicapping motorcycles. The second race will be a twenty-mile, free-for-all, single cylinder road machine. The course Is five miles long. This will necessitate the rider making two trips to finish the race. Tha third race will be a twin cylinder rac. Those selected to officiate at the races are: Dr. Diamond, referee; William Green leaf arid John Cooper. Judges; T. Johnson, Pare Bchults and T. R. McLaln, timers; T. E.

LCVE LEAPS FROM ITS LAIR Wife Hides for Husband and Captures Him with an Km brace that Heunltea Them. Persons In the corridors of the federal building Thursday afternoon about 6:30 saw a young woman rush out from the hallway hading to the rostmuster's office and fl ng her arms around a tall man who had Just Stepped up to the general delivery window.

She said her home was ln Und r wred, la. Nearly a week ago her huvband left her after a little domestic dispute. Latr the husband wrote to his wife's brrther asklrg for money.

"He was always the best husband In the world to me.' she said. "Oh, It was all my fault that he left. But I want Mm back. Indeed. I do. And I'll never, never say another word or do another thing to make him want to go." A chair was placed for Mrs. Reynolds tn the hallway so that while she was con cealed she could see. Ail day long he kept her watch, not even going out for lunch. And Just as she was despairing Mr. Reynolds appeared. He looked haggard and despondent. Those whi saw him say when the woman flung her arms around his neck his face lighted up wonderfully. He kissed her and then they left the building together.

LINCOLN MAN CANNOT SEE IT Two Talk Over the Platform nnd Agree on Practically F.very thlng F.icent Candidacy f Bryan. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. July 8 (Special Telegram.) Herman Rldder. editor of the Staats Zeltting of New York, the man heralded as coming to Lincoln to make W. J. Bryan get off the ticket he Is about to name, made his demand on Bryan, was turned down and left at 6 o'clock for Den ver to work for the defeat of the Ne braskan In the convention. He mide the promise, however, that If Bryan Is nom inated on a conservative platform he will support him. "I said to Mr. Bryan," said Mr. Rldder, "you cannot carry New York and you cannot b elected. Why don't you etep aside and permit the nomination of somo man who can be elected?" Mr. Bryan replied: "I can carry New York and I can be elected even If I do not carry New York." "We then discussed the platform nnd Mr. Bryan and I agreed upon the tarirf and the trusts. These we both agreed are the two great Issues before the people. We favor the Immediate revision of the tariff on the necessities of life and for putting on the free list all commodities whose sale Is controlled by the trusts. We want stringent laws against the or ganization of trusts. On these two planka I am free to say Mr. Bryan heartily agreed with me." Bryan O. K.'a One Plunk. Mr. Rldder presented to Mr. Biyan a plank for placing wood pulp on the free list. This plank Mr. Bryan Blgned after writing on It: "Dear Mr. Rldder, I am In favor of the above plank Just as It Is." The plank Is a follows: Every consideration of public policy sug gests the conservation of our woodlands and the lemoval of those Important du ties which put a premium upon the de struction of our forests. Existing duties have given paper manufacturers a fchei ter behind which they have organized com binations to raise the price of pulp and of paper and to impose a tax upon Know l edge. The revenues derived from l.nport duties on pulp and printing paper art so small and the benflts to be obtained from the abolition of these duties are so con siderable that we endorse the attitude of the democratic representatives In con gress, who unanimously favored the placing of pulp and printing paper on the free list "Mr. Bryan is opposed to anything In the platform about the government ownership of railways," continued Mr. Rldder, "and we are not going to have any free silver in the platform. The silver Issue Is dead nnd Mr. Bryan ha repudiated the statements published about his sayings on the govern ment ownership of railroads. "I told Mr. Bryan I favored a labor plank which would provide that the trial in In dustrial dispute should be before 'a Judge other than the one issuing the Injunction. I favor the enactment of a law provld'ng In" times of financial stringency, with the approval of the secretary of the treasury, money can be loaned to banks on the same collateral which the states compel savings banks to invest In. Bryan Takes It Seriously. "Mr. Bryan did not laugh when I re quested him to get off of the ticket. It Is a serious matter with htm and he treated it as such. Of course, I was ln hU h me t.nd treated him cour eously though I talked to him as I told you I did." It was reported here this afternoon that Mr. Ridder was the author of the Parker Cleveland resolutions. Mr. R'dder when asked If he had written the resolutions said: "Indued I did not. I would not do auch a thing and I do not approve of bringing a dead man Into a convention to fight over. Resolutions of respect will be adopted for Grover Clevelund, but not such as have been reported in the newspapers." Fenator Gore of Oklahoma Is another ex ample of what the Bryan steam roller can do. Senator Gore came In last night ond at his breakfast table this morning said when asked several pointed questions about the vice president and platform: "There are a lot of things I think which I cannot say." Senator Gore had not seen Bryan then. On one proposition tho Oklahoma senator was positive, and that was the Cleveland resolutions. He said: "The resolutions proposed by Judge Parker do not grow out of friendship for Grover Cleveland. The proposition U In delicate and political. It Is fortunate that the full text of the resolutions was made public at this early date, so that the real friends of Grover Cleveland will be ln a position to prepare suitable resolutions." Core on Injunctions, Senator Gore said the democratic party Is a friend both to the laboring man and to capital. The Injunction plank would be satisfactory. He believed ln Industrial dis pute the Injunction should not Issue until after a hearing Mose P. Metner. the Missouri "trust buster," and OUIe James of Kentucky called at Falrvlew till morning and neither had anything of Importance to say. To night the Bryan dinner will bo held and none of the speakers has prepared any thing In advance. Mr. Bryan will be con sulted before the speeches are made. A friendly conference between Mr. Bryan and T. D. O'Brien of Minnesota, manager for John A. Johnson, also attracted atten tion. "Why should I not wish to see my old friend," wa the remark of Mr. Bryan when asked what was the significance of Mr. O'Brien's call That waa all he would say, but the Inference was leit that prac tical politics were In no way to be tabooed, and would form the nucleus of the confer ence. Ollle James, the Kentucky delegate who is to second the nomination of Mr. Bryan, discussed with the democratic leader the subject matter to be Incorporated In his speech. Advance Guard from New York. , The advance guard of the New York delegation arrived shortly after the noon hour, headed by Judge John D. Lynn of Rochester. Mr. Lynn and other member visited Falrvlew this afternoon. He does not believe Judge Parker will offer any resolution not in perfect taste and har mony with the working of practical poll tics and decline to believe he will aland sponsor for the resolution regarding ex Presldent Cleveland credited to him In the dispatches of yesterday. "Will the iNew York delegation support Mr. Bryan for the presidential nomination In the event of their feeling that a vast majority of the delegates want him?" was asked. "Did you ever see It fail that New York (Continued on bocond Page.) CARRINGTON VISITS SHERIDAN Noted Indian Fighter Goes Over the Ground Where He Fought the Sioux. SHERIDAN. Wyo..

Joined tho pnrty from Sheridan this morning with a brass band and assisted ln making the visit of General Carrlngton as pleasant as possible. Brief exercises were held, at which Gen eral Carrlngton spoke. Only one feature has so far been lacking In the extensive arrangements of local citizens for the big celebration, and that is the absence of Red Cloud, the old Sioux chief, to whom an In vitation had been extended to lie present and participate with General Carrlngton In this reunion. While the Indian warrior Is past 90 year of age ard totally blind. It was at first thought he could make the trip from Pine Ridge agency, South Dakota, where he has lived for many years, but It was finally decided h was too old and feeble to stand the long ride.

It also seemed appropriate to some of my associates, and I do not hesitate to x frankly, to myeeir, for reasons ' that ap pear obvious, thst I should be the on U offer such resolutions, and It wa and It my Intention to do so. Whether they will take the form Indicated by the tentative draft published ln New York since I lofl there I cannot say, for the simple reaaor that I have not had time to study It care fully. I shall do so a soon aa I have th opportunity and shall embody such por tions as seem to me suitable In the resolu tion which I hope to have the privilege ol offering. Any suggestion that my col leagues or myself were actuated by any motive other than a desire to pay propel tribute on a fitting occasion I wholly without foundation, aa I am confident every fair minded man will recognize when I shall have completed the resolution for submission to the convention."
